When I compile the project for Windows, it builds and runs fine, but when I try to compile it for Symbian S60, I get this error:

undefined reference to `__cxa_get_exception_ptr'

    Found the answer here:

    Catch by reference rather than by value

    Catching by value causes GCC to use the compiler support function
    __cxa_get_exception_ptr. This is not available in the compiler support libraries on Symbian OS prior to Symbian^3. Catching by
    reference avoids this problem.

    So replacing

    catch (QString error)

    with

    catch (QString &error)

    fixes it.
